USA Patriots Gold: Welcome

Shots reported in Sarasota

The Sarasota Heat ASA Showcase was the site of some pre-4th of July fireworks as our Patriots let loose a barrage of bombs.  After a heated defensive battle against the stout 18U Bombers, your ladies buckled down for 5 straight wins highlighted by over-the-fence dingers by Lindsay B, La Shara, Lindsey W, Mim and Shailynn.

We had a great day showing off skills for the college coaches.  Then Sunday's competitive phase ended with another tournament win, bracket champions.  Overall, the ladies outscored our opponents 48-12 over 6 games and filled another defensive highlight reel.

Great work Patriots!
